JENIN (Ma’an) -- Israeli forces late Wednesday set up a roadblock at the eastern entrance of Yaabad village southwest of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, locals said.

The obstruction prevented cars from traveling in the area for four hours.

The incident was the fourth of its kind since Wednesday. Previous checkpoints were set up Thursday afternoon at both rush hours and late Wednesday.

Residents said they were using rugged alternative routes to reach the village.
